Fairmount Minerals Hagar City, WI Facility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thern power winches provide the power and control needed for dependable handling of heavy loads. Thern provided a 4HPF40M-S7 pulling winch and a 4HS11M-S14 take-up winch for pulling and positioning railcars for Wisconsin Industrial Sand Co.<\/p>\n

The pulling winch has a 40,000 lb. capacity for positioning railcars under the load-out chutes in the loading process.<\/p>\n

Thern\u2019s single-winch solution provided terminal operators with the heavy-duty load capacity they required, at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods. A dual cable anchor design provided a closed loop system, which allowed the winch to move the railcars in two directions with the high level of load control needed for this application.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Return to Industries” style=”custom” custom_background=”#c71a32″ custom_text=”#ffffff” shape=”square” size=”lg” align=”left” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-angle-left” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fthern.com%2Fen-GB%2Findustries-2%2F|title:Return%20to%20Industries|”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”0″ images=”23445,23447,23448″ img_size=”full” onclick=”” css=”.vc_custom_1693242905050{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”23446″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1692984675135{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”4\/6″][vc_custom_heading text=”We’re Here to Help” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1689180978485{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
